While it's definitely not quite terrible, it's also not content-filled enough to be worth a purchase unless you're really desperate for a puzzle game.

If it wasn’t for the solid combat system, and fleshed out abilities, there would be little merit in exploring this adventure.

I can say this, though: it's a visually and aurally appealing game, and it's a perfect fit on the PS Vita.

Despite the fact that the game's battle system never fully clicked for me, I was won over by the well-rounded universe that Stoic has established, providing players a few good reasons to count their lucky stars when training some women later beget archers for combat, or just for having collected some supplies without losing fighters in the process.

It's a game that's never about anything more than having a blast (and, of course, blowing up bugs, space robots and buildings) — what more could anyone want?

I definitely think Strider is worth checking out, whether you’re a fan of the original or not.

Fort Defense obviously shouldn't be your first choice if your Vita's crying out for some tower defense — not when Pixeljunk Monsters and Plants vs. Zombies are both available — but if you've got a few dollars and that particular itch to scratch, then it won't be the worst purchase you've ever made.

If you don't mind Murphy's slightly handicapped functionality on ports of Rayman Legends, then the only deciding factors are what bonus costumes you care about, and whether you do or don't have a PS4.

You've got a bunch of horrible characters "running" (for lack of a better description) around in eyeball-meltingly ugly environments, solving puzzles that veer from insanely easy to impossibly difficult, to advance a story that makes no sense whatsoever.

That said, I don't want to dissuade anyone from getting Toukiden. It's obviously not the most original game the Vita has to offer, but it's still done incredibly well — no small feat when you consider that even if the genre may be overdone, the two similar games that have come to the PS Vita in North America before it (Soul Sacrifice and Ragnarok Odyssey) both whiffed in their own unique ways.

The real challenge, of course, comes not just from beating each world, but clearing them completely and unlocking all goods hidden throughout. It may not take an exceptional amount of time to simply finish the game, but you’ll certainly put a lot more hours into chasing all the extras.

That said, better the developers create a bunch of really enjoyable levels with zero replayability than shoehorning in a three-star system at the expense of fun, right? Obviously, the ideal would be both, but if you're going to make it an either/or thing, then I suppose 10tons picked the right option to go with.

All of which is to say: I'm not sure whether I can totally recommend Dustforce. On the one hand, it's so wonderful to look at that it seems like it'd be a crime to not suggest you buy it. On the other, if it's not a broken game, at the very least it's one with issues that absolutely need to be fixed before it can truly be called playable.

It's an unsettling journey, but it's probably one worth taking.

The incredibly fun combat system and the sheer amount of customization options make this final entry in the trilogy well worth seeking out. If you’re coming into this with the hopes of seeing the story turn itself around then you’re going to leave disappointed. But if you enjoyed the refinements made in Final Fantasy XIII-2, then I think you’ll find a lot to love about Lightning Returns.

The Wolf Among Us continues to impress visually, echoing its comic book roots without sacrificing animation.

Fun though that may be, it won't take long until you're craving more, and unless you're a hardcore fan, Battle of Z doesn't have that to offer.

No matter how mediocre The Raven's gameplay might be, it's still got an engaging story with some interesting characters and a wonderful soundtrack. There's definitely a trade-off there, but it's one worth making.

Still, even partial immersion in Eufloria's world is a richer experience than full immersion in other worlds, so for that reason, if you're in the mood for something artsy with a little bit of a challenge thrown in, by all means give it a try.

All in all, this is a step-up from your typical last-gen to next-gen port considering how early we are in the console cycle. Tomb Raider remains an enjoyable experience here, with better visuals and minor enhancements based on hardware accessories.

If you have any affinity for the Final Fantasy brand, you’ll absolutely love Bravely Default.

Definitely worth a purchase even if you have the Vita original, and worth a look even if you’ve never played an Assassin’s Creed game, like me. This is one title that may make you a fan.

Ultimately, though, it all comes back to the gameplay, and on that front, OlliOlli delivers: it's hard, it's addictive, and it's got tonnes of replay value. If you own a PS Vita, it's most definitely a must-own.

On the whole, however, it's hard to get too upset about any of these issues. After all, the flipside of the genre's limitations is that it's awfully hard to make an outright terrible Hidden Object Game, and Twisted Land: Shadow Town is clearly not terrible.

It's essentially the same, full-featured game that console and PC owners have been playing, only with the added bonus of being able to take your terraformed world with you wherever you go, in addition to being able to bring it online.

All in all, I think Dr. Luigi is fun call back to an NES classic, with just enough spin put on the original formula to make it feel fresh again.

Here, there's only one question to be asked: is Furmins a good game? And even if the answer isn't as resounding as it is for some other casual PS Vita games, the answer is still a pretty clear "yes".

Admittedly, I'd never describe myself as an air hockey/darts/pool/billiards aficionado, so the allure of playing those games on the go, whenever I want, is a little lost on me. At the same time, however, there's not a lot to draw non-devotees in to those game, either.
